My mom saved a lot of used stamps from the seventies, eighties and nineties and gave them to me. I was thinking they probably aren't worth anything, but wanted to ask to be sure. There's a few dozen in the picture here, any input is appreciated.

I can add more detailed pictures if needed, thank you for your time.

Thanks for the question. I would like to say that if you follow in your mother's footsteps you would be better off Not tearing the stamps from the envelopes. Just a suggestion. Often times the postal marking on the envelopes and even advertising can have additional value.

No unfortunately not worth anything. I can't think of any country anywhere that had valuable stamps for mailing during that time. Most people would soak the stamps if given a pile such as this. If you have no use for them, quite honestly toss them, don't bother donating

You could donate them by making a "Free Stuff" ad on craigslist.
Have people send you a stamped, self-addressed envelope and you fill it with stamps and put it in the mail.

I appreciate you all taking the time to reply to this. I guess I will toss them but now I can be sure about it, thanks again.
